Agreed. It’s very much giving the Onion headline “Breaking News: local man shows stunning resourcefulness by cobbling together a bad mood out of a handful of minor grievances.” 

Hit the nail on the head right here

If the battery died then the save file is already lost. You would have needed to give them this piece of advice 2 decades ago to preserve that save file.

I don’t think it was at all clear that your argument was focused specifically about how many people played multiplayer. The conversation started out about how many people had nostalgia for either game, which to me implies the number of people who played each game more generally.

Reading through this comment section, it…

That’s capitalism baby. We have an economy that is run by and for those who own capital, just like the name suggests.

I’ve been hearing the same “conventional wisdom” for decades now, with people saying things like “Oh, you can’t regulate these huge companies, you can’t tax these companies, etc etc because if you try they will just pick up and move their business somewhere else.”

Sorry are you conceding points? Are you not just continuing with your own bias. Why is your world view non-falsifiable? This is a more hacky approach where your trolling becomes more obvious.

So you’re just going with confidently stating that every kind of evidence that doesn’t agree with your bias is categorically false, and yet it’s us who are trolling.

Your world view is non-falsifiable.

Also, a lot of the backwardness in a few middle eastern countries that you’re using to ignorantly condemn the entire…

If brutal police state violence were enough to fabricate the appearance that everyone was happy with their government and scare them into not expressing any contrary viewpoints, then why didn’t it work for the US when they were carrying out the exact same campaigns of suppression that you’re accessing China of during…

> and commit many atrocities daily.

>You’re not challenging unfair biases you’re being an apologist. You’re excusing their ongoing genocide

And this is what I’m referring to. There is exactly as much truth to these accusations as there was with regards to “babies being torn for incubators in hospitals and casually…

Then what we can agree on is that you haven’t provided a criticism. 

Ah, so you’re just trolling then

Except you haven’t actually provided a criticism, you’ve just vaguely insinuated that having/spending money is bad.

You not liking something isn’t “criticism.”

I don’t watch Hasan, but this talking point that boils down to “how come you support socialist rhetoric but also have money???” is incredibly silly.

The socialist critiques of capitalism have nothing to do with money being evil or about how the rich are bad people. The socialist critiques of capitalism are concerned…

I’ve been posting sporadically on this site for about a decade now, and I still have no idea how the greys work.

I know I used to see people just ask an article’s author to be taken out of the greys, but that seemed weird to me so I never did it.

There is absolutely no comparison between the US and China.

Why would you narrow your comparison to only federal policing?

I will admit, I was rattling half remembered numbers off the top of my head, so I do retract my former comparison. But the comparison you doesn’t provide all that convincing of a counter-narrative.

If we are just looking at the budget for federal policing,…

>Sure, keep pumping billions of dollars into expensive annual entries for the same tired AAA franchises that need to sell copies to like 60% of a console’s entire userbase to turn a profit.

I’m actually curious how much of those bloated budgets might be attributed to what is famously referred to as “Hollywood…

Expanding on this further, a just society would not rely on the satisfying the whims and fancies of “owners” as the primary mechanism for organizing production. In a just society, any leadership position tasked with the responsibility of organizing and facilitating production would be directly accountable to the…
